Judy was a wonderful girl and woman. She loved her family and friends but especially she loved her faith. I am sure she was welcomed into God’s arms. From the moment she met John at 16 she fell in love forever. He children and her grandchildren were the center of her life. I’ve watched her care for her parents and elderly aunts and uncles. I know that she Touched the lives of so many children as a teacher and as a faith instructor. Having Judy as my best friend for 65 years is something I will be thankful for on Thursday and for the rest of my life. Rest in Peace my friend. I will miss you
